"Non-Terrestrial Networks will play a fundamental role in achieving the ambitious objectives set forth for 5G and 6G systems. Space-borne and air-borne communication nodes, such as satellites at geostationary or low earth orbits, as well as high-altitude platforms or unmanned air vehicles will provide coverage extensions throughout the entire world. From broadband user devices (handheld or vehicle mounted) to narrowband Internet of Things endpoints, future consumer and professional devices will find in the 5G Non-Terrestrial component the support for achieving communications everywhere and at any time."-- Provided by publisher.
